Profile:

Brown and Tunnicliffe formed a highly respected opening partnership for Yorkshire on the 1880s and 90s, famously so in their opening stand of 554. A short man (in contrast to "long John" Tunnicliffe), Brown was a fine cutter of the ball, with his late cut somewhat of a specialty. He was also a strong hooker, and solid in defence, He is one of a select few in scoring two triple hundreds, 300* as part of the 554, and 311 the year before against Sussex. His most famous innings was the 140 made in the final Test of the 1894-5 tour of Australia. Brown came in with England needing 297 to win batting last, with the series tied 2-2. He took a most aggressive approach, scoring what remains the fastest Test fifty ever in 28 minutes, and effectively won the game for England. He bowled leg breaks, and often took wickets as a change bowler, although not in Tests. He died young, of congestion of the brain (Dave Liverman, 1998).
